I have never heard of a "tired" electric wiper motor.
How handy are you with a spanner?
After all, it is a ten year old car.
I hear "early replacement"
How many kay's has the vehicle travelled. What constitutes "early"
The words "oil leak" scare me as this is the most expensive item on the list.
Leaks in the head gasket seam area are expensive, and yes 3.0R engines sometimes do show them.
A photo of the leak would tell more.
If in doubt, don't.
By the way, my 3.0R-B had a leaking RHS front output shaft seal when I bought it.
It was (only) an oil spill from an over zealous gearbox oil fill at an earlier service.
My son's Outback failed a RWC for a failed lower arm rear bush.
It was (only) the A/C water outlet drain immediately above it that made it look failed.
Some times an inspection on the inspection report is in order.
